Re: One year later...

[Michael Gissing] "I suspect this is wishful thinking. My read of the market in my area is that FCPX is not on the radar as a replacement for FCP7. Some have already jumped to AVID or CS5.5 but many more are now saying that sometime this year they will add AVID and /or CS6 to their system. Many still want to squeeze life out of their MacPros and FCP7. "

I've seen zero interest thus far in Premere among real-world contacts, and a lot of FCP users chose FCP over Avid for reasons that continue to hold, or perceive Media Composer as a risk because of Avid's dicey financial situation and long-term market share erosion.

[Michael Gissing] "Almost no editors or facilities that I talk to consider critical high end features to be sufficient in FCPX in spite of efforts by third parties. Indeed the perception is that only because of third parties is FCPX vaguely a consideration."

We seem to keep hearing that FCP X's feature set is still considered insufficient, but I can't help but notice that unlike a year ago there aren't many specific features being mentioned.
